BBGUN said:Folks,you guys got it right and wrong.Well,color can be favorable and go other way too.I wouldn't be able to guess the dental school stats though.But dentistry on the whole is a white profession.Now ,I assume that most of you are undergrads and just in dental school.The fact is you guys have little idea of the preofessional world.Do not forget ,you are all a part of industry and not service,precisely healthcare industry.In the corporate world ,only one color rules and we all know that.
Now ,about Indians getting into dental school,Indians like to do things which are the toughest and poses the most challenge.This holds good to chinese too.That is the reason ,you see Indians coming out as doctors and most of the time domestic pressure demands them to do better than they can.Indians still are not known for their skills in medicine .There is another subject Indians are good at ..MATH..and that is why you see the tech sector dominated by them.The corporate part of the tech industry is still with the other color.
Being an Indian could be really an adavantage ,with the amount of succes they have been enjoying in the recent past.There is an enormous respect to Indian sudents and this is not because of Indian amercans,it is only because of immigrant students who come here and do exemplarily well.So ,it is hard to say what you will face.But ,,if you get discriminated ,do not be surprised at all.These kind of bigotry does happen too.Just pray that you don't become a victim.And again,this might not happen too,as this country is build on immigrants.
hahaha. "tech sector" =math??? computer programming is popular among indians, and indians are not underrepresented in corporate management either... but for all of that you are not required to do any upper level math. Math is much more than plugging in the numbers. In any upper level math or physics classes at my school, you'll find at best 1 indian in a class of 20. In engineering classes, whites are a minority. In premed classes they're about even.
